    My <!WA0><!WA0><a href="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~burnett/booklist.html">reading list</a>.
<h4>Melanie and I both made a list of 100 books we would like to read.
    It should take her only a few years, but I suspect 10+ years for me 
    (they'll have to compete with 100 CS books/journals, not to mention countless horror
    anthologies.)</h4>
<br>I am grateful for both Joe & Cathy's recommendations,
   as well as <!WA1><!WA1><a href="http://www.next.com/~bong/books/GuiltList.html">
   The Professor's Guilt List</a>.  I concede that most of the authors are
   white and/or male; perhaps I'll be more exploratory with the next 100.
